Workspace Node: C&RT Regression - Specifications - Quick Tab
The C&RT Regression workspace node can be accessed from the Feature Finder, the ribbon bar, or the Node Browser. The Specifications - Quick tab is displayed by default when you open the specifications dialog box.
| Element Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Use previous input description | Use previous input description. Select this check box to use the variable selection specified in the Select dependent variables and predictors node, accessed via the ribbon bar or by double-clicking the data source node in the workspace. Note that the previous Select Cases and Weight specifications will be used also. If case selection conditions and/or weights were previously specified, you can view those specifications from this workspace dialog box, but you cannot change them (the options will be dimmed). |
| Variables | Click this button to display a four-variable lists selection dialog box from which you can select the dependent variable, categorical predictor variables, continuous predictors, and count variable (optional).
From the first list, select the dependent variable. From the second list, select the categorical variables (factors). Note that these variables must contain text or numeric codes that identify the classes or groups to which each case or observation belongs. From the third list, select the continuous predictors. From the fourth list, select the count variable. This variable is optional. If selected, it will be used as a case-multiplier in the analysis. Thus, by using a count variable you can analyze input data that have previously been aggregated (tabulated). |
| Factor codes | Once you have selected categorical predictor variables, the button for the selection of the factor codes will be available. Click this button to display the Select codes for independent variables dialog box, in which you select codes for the Categorical factors. The list of codes can be displayed by clicking the
Zoom button. Note that you must select at least two codes for each of the selected Categorical factors. The selected factor codes are treated as case selection conditions, so cases that have an observed factor code that is not included in the selected set will be ignored in the analysis.
Options / C / W. See Common Options. |
| OK | Click the OK button to accept all the specifications made in the dialog box and to close it. The analysis results will be placed in the Reporting Documents node after running (updating) the project. |
